PARALYzED.
Traffic in Wheat at a Standstill
Since the Break.
A Cincinnati Firm Sued for q
Million.
A Smuggler Captured at
Oakland.
The Effect of the Tumble.

CHICAGO, June Is The break 10 the
wheat corner and the excitement on the
board of trade has had the effect of cut
ting of for the time all grain shipments,
both for export and Eastern consumption.
Shippers here are all at sea regarding
prices, and can do nothing until the panic
Is over and trade settles back into legiti-
mate channels. 1t is believed in railroad
offices that shipments will not be resumed
before the first of the week, although all
interested officials agree in asserting that
the restoration of wheat to normal prices
will have the effect to swell the sast bound
tonnage TOR the next three months to
double the usual proportions.
La the circuit court to day a suit was
commenced by the failed firm of Rosen-
field Il Co., against Wiltshire, Eckert &
Co., of Cincinnati, for 81. 200. OOO. A
deputy sheriff secured service during
tie afternoon on Wiltshire. while the
latter was engaged in q conference in 4
Dearborn street bank. Mr. Rosenfeld
said to night that the suit was entirely OF
a civil nature, but what the developments
would be he was not prepared to state.
The suit had been brought in a hurry in
order to secure service on the defendant,
Wiltshire, while he was in town, and the
details of the proceedings were still in q
chaotic state.
The basis for the suit is the defendants
failure to put up margins as they agreed.
Wiltshire would not be interviewed ON
the subject and left the city this evening.
Frank johnson. Of the firm of Rosen-
field 4 Co., was asked this evening for a
definite statement regarding the alleged
attachment of Kershdw & Co. 8 bank ac-
count to day by his firm. He denied it
emphatically, but would enter into no dis
cussion. The aspect of affairs in the office
Of q. j.. Kershsw & Co. this afternoon
was very different from that of the previ
GUS day, when it was the center of conso-
lation and members of dozens of houses
passed tc and from the presence of their
expected nreserver. Now the head of the
firm sat alone in his private Office and the
few who sought an interview We're sternly
denied. CLERKS in the outer apartments
had ceased to labor on the books and
stood about whispering over the gloomy
outlook.
About 3 p. IN. an unexpected visitor
arrived in the person of Deputy Sheriff
Burke. He was armed with a writ of
attachment against the firm in favor of
Geo. ID. Baldwin & Co. The writ was
ser'eu on VT. hersnaW' AFTER Whlch ne
went home.
Handouts of attachments were taken
out by various parties against embarrassed
firms, and it is thought that all firms were
served upon. SO far as known but one of
the failed merchants toresaw the danger
of such an event and took the precaution
to transfer any property. This was ].
w. Yourt, who had a deed to lis wife re-
corded on twelve pieces of real estate. the
consideration named being $40, 900.

Attempted assassination.

LOUISVILLE, June ga special tn the
Euentng Times from Lexington says:
News reached here this morning of anoth-
er dastardly and cold, blooded attempt at
assassination in Rowan county. Last
night as tx Sheriff VIM. Ramey and his
son Henry, the latter "a years of age. were
riding from Moorehead to their home in
the country, they were shot from ambush
and probably fatally wounded. 1t is not
known who the parties were. Ramey and
his son were not members of either Rowan
faction. Lately, though, they had re
fused to join the Craig crowd and it is
thought that this refusal il the cause of
the probable double murder.

Dynamite Plots Discovered.

LONDON. June l5.-The following is
from official sources: Information has been
received in London which leaves no doubt
that dynsmiters have arranged to commit
an outrage, or a series of outrages, during
the jubilee week. The authorities have
full knowledge of the conspiracy and those
engaged in it, and are confident they will
defeat the p%lotters. For months past re-
ports of the movements of prominent plot
ters abroad and their probable accomplices
in England have been received in London
almost daily. The chief ports have been
watched during the same period in view of
the arrival of certain suspects, without
previous notice having been received from
British agents abroad, and the movements
OF Patrick Casey and his associates in Paris
who has been very active lately, and has
been closely followed by special detectives,
and others outside the Casey ring are also
known to be watched.

The Long and Short Haul

WASHINGTON, June l5.-The inter-
state IN commission rendered to-
night their long expected decision upon
the fourth section of the interstate act,
which prohibits a greater charge for the
transportation of passengers and property
over a shorter than a longer distance in
the same direction under substantially
similar circumstance and conditions. The
decision was made npon the petition of the
Louisville d Nashville and other railroad
companies, which were among the first to
apply for relief from the operation of the
fourth section OF the law.
The decision ID very long, comprising
more than $4,000 words, but the most
important feature is the announcement
that the commission, after mature consid-
Grafton, Is satisfied the statute does not
equire 1t to prescribe in every instance an
exceptional case and grant its order for
relief before a carrier is at liberty in its
tariffs to depart from the general rule.
The carrier must judge for itself what are
substantially similar circumstance on con-
dltlons which preclude a special rate, re
bate or drawback which is made unlawful
by section ID and section "A, since
no tribunal is empowered to judge for
1t until after a carrier has acted,
and then only for the purpose of deter
mining whether its action constitutes
a violation of the law. The carrier
Judges on the point of consequences; but
a special rate, relate, or drawback which
it grants is not illegal when it turns out
that the circumstance and conditions are
not such as forbid it: and as congress
clearly intended this, it must also, when
using the same words in the fourth Sec
ton, have intended that the carrier,
whose privilege was in the same way lin
tied by them, should in the same way
act upon its Judgment of the limiting
circumstances and conditions.
The commission, therefore, will not
undertake to decide IN advance what con
stitutes or what does not constitute dis
elimination under substantially similar
circumstances and conditions, but will
leave the railroad companies in fixing their
tariffs to act upon their own Judgment and
at their risk, subject to accountability be-
fore the commission and courts in cases
where complaint is made by interested
parties OF violation OF the law. For the
guidance, however, of railroad companies,
the commission in its decision has consid-
cred at great length nearly all the quest
ions raised under the fourth section OF the
law, and have reached conclusions which
are summarized and published for their
benefit

A Strong Protest.

New YORK, June l5.-"May God
patsy the hand that wrote that order.
May God palsy the brain that conceived
it, and may God palsy the tongue hat
dictated it."
q. A. 4. veterans heard these words
with bated breath and glanced at zach
other with awe as the terrible sentences
rang u from the commander in chief of
the Grand Army Of the Republic to night
in Association hall in Harlem.
The occasion was the reception rendered
to the commander in chief by Alexander
Hamilton post, 1S2, G. A. r. Visitors
were present from every Grand Army
post Of this city and vicinity. Post Com.
mander A. NJ. Underhill presided.
Before the meeting opened it became
known that Gen Ross. of Austin, Tex. d,
had received a letter from the adjutant
general of the United States army, stat
ing that the president had approved the
recommendation and the writer had been
instructed by the secretary of war to re.
turn all Confederate flags in the care of
the department to Southern states from
whose regiments the flags had been cap
tured during the war OF the rebellion.
Gen. Fairchild entered the hall with
stern, set features Without hardly
waiting for the usual courtesies the one
armed leader burst forth with the expires
sions recorded above. The general told
of news received that the president had
approved of the return of the rebel"
flags, and how those flags had been won
by the veterans of the G.. A. r. in open
conflict with the enemies of the nation.
Veterans had placed their trophies in the
care of the war department. They were
intended to be kept in the archives of the
nation as mementoes Of hard won fields
of battle. He continued: How can
the present loyal governors of the South
ern states accept the emblems OF treason
after their professions of loyalty to the
union? Must they not return them to the
secretary and say that they will have
nothing to do with the flags, as rebel
organizations are extinct, and Their gov.
ernors are now dead ?"
Gen. Fairchild said that he had fire..
q~uently listened to sentiments which
caused him TO bite his tongue in the eff.
fort to maintain his self control. In nine
months past he had visited G.. A. R posts
In every state in the state in the North,
East and West. He had never in any
post meeting heard anything but kindly
feelings expressed towards men who had
looked into the gun barrels of Northern
troops during the war. As commander in
chief he had tried to this kindly
feeling. Now this was changed. The
time had come to speak in the name OF
the organization. If he could not protest
against it as commander in chief OF the
G. A. R he would resign and protest as
a private citizen But he was satisfied
that $50, 900 G. A. r. veterans would
rise as n man in solemn protest against
any such disposition of trophies Wen at
such fearful sacrifice of blood.
Raising his only hand the general said:
Il appeal to the sentiment of the nation
to prevent this sacrilege."
Resolutions were adopted condemning
the act and arrangements will be made to
have a mass meeting of veterans next
week to protest against the action of the
president.

Run Away and Bust Up.

A runaway team yesterday evening
caused u degree Of excitement In the
east end Of town. Henry Davis
team, attached to q hay wagon. empty,
however, became frightened in the alb
sence Of the driver, and started from
the vicinity of Paul Borchardt's house
near the electric light station. The
first damage vas the wrecking OF the
smokestack at the electric light sta
ton, the team dashing into the guy
rope and and toppling the lofty stack
which fell across the hay body. Rush
ing onward the tree in front OF the
Rink wound up the business, the
team stripping themselves Of harness
against il, breaking every strap In the
harness. They trctted out to the
prairie and were then easily caught.
1t was about 4:30 p. m. when the
smoke stack was wrecked and 1t re-
quired Q score of helpers and more
than two hours to get the stack back
In position. which accounts for the de-
lay In starting up the light. The

ant In a suit for damages. Berthold
